The four times to W. C. Handy award nominated musician’s No Boundaries record appeared in 2005. From this CD, the Blues Revue, the Living Blues, the Downbeat and other music magazines have written appreciatively. The writer of all of the songs of the album is Bob Trenchard, the bass guitarist of the attendant band, The Rays. The songs are about desperation, hope and death (Bob had written the biggest part of the songs after the death of his wife).

Johnny Rawls - 2000 - Put Your Trust In Me [256]
Starting in 1996 Rawls entered a prodigious period with JSP Records. Serving as producer and A & R rep for the label he helmed albums for artists like Lonnie Shields, Phil Guy, Eddie Kirkland, Johnnie Marshall, Kenny Edwards, George Stancell and Percy Strother. During this time he dropped four records of his own, developing his own disparate sound- a Southern Soul melody template with a heavy rhythmic pulse. When that deal ended he was back on his own label, then named Deep South Sound. In no short order he produced records for old friends Blues Boy Willie & Chick Willis, as well as his own "Lucky Man" and a project on his daughter Destini.
